IPL 2022: Best starting playing XI of Rajasthan Royals (RR) after mega auction
Rajasthan Royals came into the IPL 2022 mega auction with a purse remaining of INR 62 Crores.
2. Jos Buttler (wk)
Jos Buttler was one of the expected retentions for the Rajasthan Royals for INR 10 Crores and he brings a lot of value to the side in terms of winning games for the franchise. The right-hander had a terrific IPL 2018 and continued his assault into IPL 2019 as well at the top of the order by taking on the bowlers upfront.
The England batter is one of the most destructive batters going around with a lot of T20 experience under his belt and has all the shots in the book including the 360-degree strokes. He scored his maiden IPL century last year and had to miss out on a few of the games due to international commitments.
Buttler has the ability to win matches on his own and he scored 254 runs in seven IPL games last year at a strike rate of 153 which speaks volumes of his ability. The 31-year-old had a terrific outing in the T20 World Cup as well and will provide the much-needed support to inexperienced Jaiswal at the other end.
